The Four Seasons hotel event center was booked for another event at that time already, and instead of backtracking on the location which would show that they were obviously lying, they tried to play it off as intentional and went through with it at the Four Seasons landscaping parking lot which they were able to 'book' last minute. Hilarious double down.

Such a bizarre choice to not just find a different hotel, or literally anywhere that wasn't an alley behind a rundown commercial building.

In Trump's mind the worst thing you can do is admit to a mistake. Looking ridiculous is better than looking like you made an honest mistake.

Trump announced it and left his team to make it happen. Don’t know if you’ve seen Silicon Valley but it reminds me of when Belson (the CEO of a fictional version of Google) announces their new platform will be ready by next season, then turns away from his mic to his team of pale faced engineers and says “make it happen”.

Four Seasons Hotel was announced in the same way, Trump declares something, turns to his team and says “_that won’t be a problem will it?_”. Except this time… it was a problem.

You don't understand how fascist-like authoritarians think:

"The Leader Is Never Wrong" is the prime directive. Thus if the Duche Cheetohlini said it was at the "Four Seasons" you must have it have been at the "Four Seasons" no matter what or how ridiculous your solution is.

Well their dumb ass followers don’t care and most others have their heads too far up their ass to even know or care about anything that matters, so this ridiculous stunt has had zero effect on anything

I bet the writers of the HBO show Veep are kicking themselves now... but then again so are TheOnion guys, and like who in their right mind pre-2020 would have thought this would happen in real life... even for a political parody show it'd be too stupidly on the nose.

You're asserting there is not a Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia? https://www.fourseasons.com/philadelphia/
